Damien and side characters

The article talks about the issue with which I'm somewhat familiar, since I always seek out someone to like (unless it's something like Gurren-Lagann, which offers an array of facinating characters). Miyuki helped me, too, to stick with Lucky Star until the show picked up after the change of directors.

One thing though:

Incidentally, Kyon is an interesting case: I don’t really think about him as a character, because the show (and the books) do so well a job of making him an audience surrogate that I have trouble thinking of him in any other way. He’s kind of out of the competition for Favourite Character, since he’s supposed to be me, and I can’t really be a Favourite Character to myself.

This is a sensible view at the presentation in Haruhi, but it's not the only one. It's not how I see it, for example. I don't find it difficult to abstract Kyon any more than I do the same with Mikan when she plays the role of narrator in Manabi. Still, he's not my "favourite" due to his cowardiness and opportunism. If anyone is, it's probably Ryoko.
